work station

Cubicle with computer

A work station is a designated area where someone performs their job, whether a desk in an office, a bench in a factory, or a terminal in a lab.

In computing, workstation specifically means a high-performance computer designed for technical or scientific applications—more powerful than a typical desktop.

Also spelled as one word: workstation.
